The revamp of Terrapin Playground, the section of J.J. Byrne Park that Shaya Boymelgreen and associates have used as a staging area during construction of the Novo, is supposed to be complete by May, according to a story in last week’s Crain’s (sub req’d). Work on the westernmost section of the public park (which will include a eight new handball courts, two new basketball courts, a skate area, and a dog run area) was originally supposed to be finished last summer. While we can’t say that we’ve noticed a great deal of progress on the space since we checked in on it in December, it would certainly be terrific if the long overdue reopening were only a few months away and ready for summer.

  1. Hey, you’re right 11:47–I’m jealous. Jealous that I can’t afford a condo that will never actually allow me to move in. And when it finally does, the cheap materials put up by cheap labor will reduce my “investment” to so much dogshit.

    And by the way, I’m not a renter–I own a Brownstone. Two, in fact, which were built to last… unlike shingleshit like Novo that you’re wishing you hadn’t signed up to sell.

  2. Novo is almost sold out. Just like the rest of Park Slope.

    All you = people are bitter troll renters that couldn’t buy something if your lives depended on it.

    Sick, is what it is.

    Get back to work and start feeding your family instead of wasting so much time telling people how lame they are for buying property and making money.
